Vulkan benchmarks: A boost for AMD and Nvidia, but there’s work to be done
http://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/201...or-amd-and-nvidia-but-theres-work-to-be-done/
slightly misleading headline from Ars here as Vulkan is massively behind DX11 for both AMD and Nvidia, but even taking "beta" in to consideration, being so far behind DX11 is not a good start

TBF,its a big improvement over OpenGL and should make Linux gaming more viable - thinking SteamOS here OFC.

If we are talking about the talks principle then it is an experimental vulkan mode using a wrapper. They have not implemented multithreading or modified the engine for best use.
The benchmark only shows how well their vulkan implementation works, not how well vulkan api performs.
So at the end of the day more poor reporting without any background checking.

No need for new thread tbh

its not an AMD vs Nvidia article, its an OpenGL vs. Vulkan vs. DX11 article
Because DX11 is famous for how massively threaded it is

The whole point is that they have not made any needed changes yto get decent performance.

I think the issue with benchmarks at the minute is that Vulkan isn't really being done properly, but some people will just see the results and dismiss it.
I guess the lucky thing is that this shouldn't really affect take up as developers will be aware of the situation, but to Joe Public it could make it look like the API isn't helping.

I'll tell you what, i'm shocked to see a 290X performing at 80% of a 980TI.

That longevity and forward thinking. Now if AMD had the lower overhead drivers they have now when it released, it would have smashed everything on day 1.
Samsung just announced there new Flag ship phones will come with vulkan API. I guess this means all Android phone tbh

Not sure about anyone else, but speaking for myself..... I dont care about an API's progress. I dont care for how its running pre-tweaks or threading implementations etc. Just show me a finished product and dont call it a ****ing beta to cover your arses.
